Back in 2017, one day, I was taking a photo-walk with my friend in the early morning (dawn) near the Patenga Sea Beach at Chittagong, Bangladesh. I was capturing silhouette of birds and suddenly I noticed a random guy, from a distance, was riding a bicycle and about to get into my frame. I didn’t want to miss the chance to capture this moment.
